Var. Tatìis rufescens, antennis nigris busi riifis. 



Short , l)roa(lly ovati; , very convex , the thorax depressed in 

 front, and narrowed from tlie hase so as to form a continuous 

 oval outline with the elytra and head, front and hind angles 

 acute, ))ase gently bisinuato, the sides very finely margined the 

 margin just turning the hind angles, but almost vanishing be- 

 fore the middle of the Imse. Tlie head and thorax are typically 

 ])lack above, Ijut the sides of tlu^ thorax and the head beneath 

 tend to be red, and in one example the sides of the thorax and 

 head are pitchy red above. They are evenly, thickly and distinctly 

 punctate. The scutellum is only very minutely punctate, black 

 pitchy or rufous according to the colour of the rest of the 

 insect. Metasternal and alxlominal lines very fine , looking like 

 sutures. Elytra deep blood- or coral-red, unspotted, covered with 

 small close punctures, and with about eight lines of larger 

 punctures, infuscate beneath the surface ; a ninth submarginai 

 strin may be traced, but is completely obliterated in the middle. 

 Of the underside, the sides of the head, the sides of metasternimi, 

 the epimera behind, and the abdomen are red, the breast is 

 more coarsely punctured than the other parts, the prosternai 

 process is acuminate in front, very broad l)ehind, fitting over 

 the depressed rim of the mesostcrnum of whicli the raised part 

 is transverse.
